Fox News Gives A Warm Welcome To BFFs From Duck Dynasty On New Year’s Eve
In case you had any doubt that Fox News considers Duck Dynasty’s Robertson family as one of their own kind, check out much New Year’s Eve co-Host Elisabeth Hasselbeck slobbered over Willie and Korie Robertson when they joined the telecast last night. Co-host Bill Hemmer repeatedly tried to get the couple to disparage A&E but it was all love and “happy, happy, happy,” as Korie Robertson put it, between them and the network.
Read moreKelly Wright, Juan Williams Pimp Christian Right's America Founded On Faith Meme
The religious right has created a false historical narrative which claims that America was founded as a Christian nation and, ergo, those who seek to maintain separation of church and state are both anti-Christian and unpatriotic. There is a cottage industry in this bogus, revisionist "Christian" history as seen in Mike Huckabee's history for kids DVD's and anything written by bogus historian David Barton. While our Founders expressed themselves in devotional terms, they were Deists who, in creating our Constitution, sought to ensure that this country would not become embroiled in the types of church/state conflicts which had wracked Europe for centuries. But in the bizarro world of the Christian right and Fox News, our nation was founded on "faith" which is under attack by secularists. On Christmas Eve, Kelly Wright and Juan Williams advanced this narrative which worked in some war on Christmas figgy pudding.

As part of its "All-American New Year" last night, Fox News' Phil Keating approached a drunk celebrant. "Well, hello there, tall drink of water," he said to a young woman, "Say something to the nation. Her response is definitely not safe for work. Nor for the "family show" Keating claimed to be part of.

Read moreCatholicism 'Wearing' Eric Bolling Attacks Atheists - Again!
There is a bible verse in which Jesus tells his followers that when the pray they should "go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret." But this advice is not heeded by Fox's Eric Bolling who, in not wasting an opportunity to remind us of his devout Catholicism, is more like the "hypocrites" who "love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others." For Bolling, his public prayer persona is all part of his mission, from God and Roger Ailes to earn his Christian soldier stars by smiting atheists at every turn. Devout Catholic Bolling, who has no problem maligning President Obama and Muslims, also constantly reminds us that he really hates "mean" atheists. Last week, Bolling must have earned more time out of Purgatory with his good, Christian attacks on atheists who, contrary to Bolling's good Christian paranoia, aren't, contrary to the Fox News propaganda meme, trying to destroy Christian tradition.

Last week, I posted about how Fox News used Duck Dynasty's Willie Robertson (son of Phil Robertson) for a special F.U. to gays and liberals on Christmas Eve. Apparently, Fox loved its maliciousness so much, the network is doing it again for New Year's Eve.
Juan Williams Helps Promote White Racial Outrage Over Knockout Game Arrest
A white teen in Texas has been arrested and charged with a hate crime for playing the knockout game against a black person. In addition to the crime itself, the teen made the mistake of boasting about it in a bar and showing a video of it to an undercover policeman. Cue up Fox News’ racial outrage. The “fair and balanced” network did its best to turn this story into one about white people’s racial injustice at the hands of the (black) Obama administration.
Read moreShannon Bream Provides Platform For Hate Group Head, Tony Perkins, To Attack GLAAD
The Family Research Council has been designated, by the Southern Poverty Law Center, as a "hate group" because of its defamation of and lies about gays which is done under the guise of Christian "family values." But this virulent homophobia is no problem for Fox News which has provided validation and defense of the FRC and its head, Tony Perkins, who is always warmly embraced on Fox shows where he gets to spread the hate that his group specializes in. Such was the case on last Friday's Kelly Files when Perkins was interviewed by Shannon Bream who, along with Todd Starnes, is one of Fox's prime conduits for anti-gay discrimination. Perkins lived up to his reputation as a hate group head in his condemnation of those nasty gay folks who dared to impugn the true biblical Christianity of Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson who has been restored to his A&E show, praise Jesus and Fox News!
